NounSingular Ethernet Plural Ethernets Ethernet (plural Ethernets)
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Ethernet is a family of frame-based computer networking technologies for local area networks (LANs). The name comes from the physical concept of the ether. It defines a number of wiring and signaling standards for the Physical Layer of the OSI networking model as well as a common addressing format and Media Access Control at the Data Link Layer. Ethernet is standardized as IEEE 802.3. The combination of the twisted pair versions of Ethernet for connecting end systems to the network, along with the fiber optic versions for site backbones, is the most widespread wired LAN technology. It has been in use from around 1980 to the present, largely replacing competing LAN standards such as token ring, FDDI, and ARCNET. A standard 8P8C (often called RJ45) connector used most commonly on cat5 cable, a type of cabling used primarily in Ethernet networks.

GNU Free Documentation License Are there any cons to purchasing an ethernet adapter versus an actual ethernet port? Q. The ethernet on my Dell Dimension 4550 has been dead for quite some time now. I am looking into purchasing an ethernet/usb adapter, since the usb ports work just fine. Are there any cons to purchasing just an adapter versus an actual ethernet port? Asked by Aria - Wed Nov 5 03:19:30 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Ethernet is natively much faster than USB. Thus using a USB to Ethernet convertor will cause your internet speed to be limited to the max speed of USB rather than the max speed of Ethernet. However, this is rarely a concern in practice, as there will likely be other bottlenecks. Unless you are going to transfer large files across an internal network, then there is little benefit for using an actual Ethernet port.

Q. How does a newly-installed personal computer connected to an Ethernet discover the IP addresses of local servers? How does it translate them to Ethernet addresses? How does it get an IP Address? Asked by rolakyng - Fri Dec 19 14:56:21 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. That is actually a complex question. First you have to understand that there are many ways to get the information, but it all boils down to protocols. It depends on the type of communications you are using and encapsulation of data within the packets and frames, etc. etc. There is a lot of technical things going on under the hood but I am going to give you a generic answer for each of those questions and I'll post some sources for you to get the details.
